August 28th Lecture Series: Daisy Howard Douglas, The Legend of Cathay Williams, Female Buffalo Soldier

Join Us for a Captivating Storytelling Session with Daisy Howard Douglas

Experience history come to life as acclaimed author and storyteller Daisy Howard Douglas shares her original work, The Legend of Cathay Williams, Female Buffalo Soldier.


In this dynamic and enlightening session, Daisy brings to light the extraordinary true story of Cathay Williams — the first African American woman to enlist in the U.S. Army, disguising herself as a man to serve with the legendary Buffalo Soldiers.


Through powerful narration, rich historical detail, and heartfelt passion, Daisy honors the courage, resilience, and legacy of a forgotten hero who broke barriers and defied expectations.

Don't miss this opportunity to be inspired, educated, and moved by a piece of American history rarely told.


Perfect for all ages — educators, students, history lovers, and anyone who enjoys a good story well told. Preacher Dave's BBQ will be onsite for food and drink purchases.
